That was a procedural dispute. They released the documents to NSICOP right way, but the Conservatives didn&#039;t like that. There was absolutely no good reason for the Conservatives to insist that the Law Clerk, who has no national security training, do the redactions of the documents, and then go to war to insist on that point (while the other two opposition parties played along).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Routine Proceedings [Feb 29, 2024]: “There were also the overwrought accusations that the government was trying to cover this up….”

I’ve never understood the reason for the extraordinary attempts that have been made for years now by Routine Proceedings to defend the Trudeau goverment’s efforts to cover up this issue.

Just so the record is clear, there was a cover-up, as noted in The New York Times of February 29, 2024:

“The release of the documents was the subject of a prolonged debate in Parliament that began before the last federal election, in September 2021. Opposition parties asked to see the records at least four times and found the Liberal government to be in contempt of Parliament in 2021. The government filed a lawsuit in an attempt to keep the records hidden, but dropped it when the vote was called.”]]></description>
